Marina and Vika

The last two
weeks in the Ukraine we stayed in Krasnoarmeysk,
a small town near Donetsk, Ukraine. 
Our contacts, Marina and Vika, have only been missionaries for about as
long as we have!  They graduated
from a missionary training school in Odessa, Ukraine and started their ministry
in January building relationships with people in Krasnoarmeysk through English
Club and Bible Study.  Almost every
time we would show up at their apartment somebody would be there for tutoring
in English or needing some help, or asking a question about the Bible.  These two women share their lives with
everybody that walks through their door.

It was such an honor to be a part of their
ministry for the last two weeks. 
We got to know those who were a part of their house church, those who
had already become believers or those who were asking a lot of questions about
becoming believers!  We had the
opportunity to do outreach with them as well, telling people about Jesus but
also getting the word out about English Club in order for Marina and Vika to
build relationships with them first. 
English Club was one of our favorite times, as we got to help people
(mainly teenagers) with their English, but we also got many opportunities to
share our faith or at least tell them why we were in the Ukraine!

Please continue to pray for Marina and
Vika.  New opportunities are
opening up to do other English Clubs in the next town and many people are
continuing to join their Bible studies. 
Pray for wisdom in sharing with newcomers and in shepherding their flock
of new believers.

 

Romans 11:33 says, “Oh, the depth of the
riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God!  How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways!â€�

 

Forum Question (looking for a response):
Jesus was fully man and fully God. Did He use his “God-power� during His
lifetime on earth? Did He have to learn the same way that we do?
